in Common Responses to Why DTC Genomics is Dead: Coriell PMC on Think Gene
One thing I would point out that I don't believe is correct is the assertion that Coriell is a government institution. I believe it's a private non-profit, albeit one that receives a lot of money through government contracts.

This is important because the suggestion in the article is that Coriell's pocket is bottomless because the project is backed by the government. From their FAQ, funding for this particular project is primarily through private donations. So, expansion from 10,000 to 100,000 isn't guaranteed.
